Shop for "First Through The Gate" by Brian Conway

Andy McGann and Felix Dolan show up on a number of tracks. Nice smooth Sligo playing.
This is out on Smithsonian Folkways. It's nice to see them putting out good new material.

Kitty's Wedding is a jig on Brian's album

Kitty's wedding on this album is a jig in the key of A. It's difficult for me because of the high c on the e string of the fiddle. I can't seen to find any notation for it, although it's an easy tune to learn by ear.
